United States Army Judge Advocate General's Corps

The United States Army Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG Corps) is the legal branch of the U.S. Army. Its officers are trained lawyers who provide legal services to soldiers and the Army, including advising commanders on legal issues, prosecuting or defending military personnel in court-martials, and handling military law, ethics, and regulations. JAG Corps members ensure that military operations comply with legal standards and rights. They serve both in military courts and in civilian or military legal settings, supporting the rule of law within the Army and ensuring justice is upheld.
